Had to choose between saving my mint Amazing Spider-Man #300 or my dog from a sudden rainstorm
So I was walking home from the comic shop with my dog, Buddy, and my new bagged and boarded copy of Amazing Spider-Man #300. Out of nowhere, this huge storm cloud opens up over downtown. I'm two blocks from my apartment, and I've got my comic in a thin plastic bag, not a waterproof one. My choice was basically run and try to keep the comic dry under my shirt, or pick up Buddy, who hates rain, and carry him. I tucked the comic inside my jacket, held it flat against my chest, and we booked it. Got inside, comic was totally fine, just a little damp on the outer bag. Buddy, however, gave me the stink eye for a solid hour while he dried off. In my experience, you can't explain graded comic values to a beagle. Has anyone else had to make a silly choice like that to protect a key issue?
